Problem: Weak jets.
Cause: Air or a solid obstruction in the plumbing. If the tub was just
filled, it is probably air.
Solution:
1. Check to see that the jets are turned on.
2. Make sure the water height is at least 2 inches above the top of the
uppermost jets.
3. Verify that no plugs or other coverings are over the suction inlets in
the tub. (The suction inlets are the lower fittings.)
4. Turn the jets on and off several times to clear the air.
Problem: All jets lost power while operating.
Cause: Obstruction in the plumbing.
Solution:
1. Remove the filter. See the instructions on page 20.
2. Check to see if the suction strainers are in place and free of debris.
3. If these are clean and you still have weak jets:
A. Unplug the Hydromate.
B. Drain the tub.
C. Disconnect the hoses.
D. Separate the Hydromate from the tub.
E. Inspect the plumbing exposed by opening the unions for
blocking materials such as hair, leaves, string, plastic bags, etc.
F. Clean and flush the Hydromate with full pressure from a
garden hose placed in the top large hose connector of the
Hydromate.
G. Re-assemble and try again.
4. If no blocking objects were found and there is still no power, debris is
probably lodged inside the pump. Take the Hydromate to your dealer.
Problem: One jet has lost power.
Cause: The jet is closed or there is an obstruction at this jet.
Solution:
1. A solid obstruction may be present inside the jet. Remove the jet, per
dealer instructions. Clean it out and replace it.
Problem: Can’t shut off the air to the jets.
Cause: Air control valve is not fully shut.
Solution:
1. Turn the air control on and off several times.
